Overweight tickets

My dad's company paid his over axel ticket in Georgia after the northbound Valdosta scale had him over by 108lbs on his front axel of his trailer tandem. Don't ask me how, but that's how they wrote the ticket up

 

In Georgia you must never be surprised at anything that you may be fined for. Jesus Christ himself would be issued a citation for loitering if he stopped on the scale for 1 second too long.

 

Ironic, my dispatcher just offered me a load to Atlanta...I told him hell no

 

He was more than 108. They allow 35 on a tandem

 

I would believe it, if you said VA.

 

He showed me the ticket. The lady scale matter wrote it up as axel 1 of axle group two overweight 108lbs. I thought it was completely rediculous

 

There is more to this story

 

Believe what you want, I know what I read on the ticket. My dad's been driving since 84. I've got more reason to doubt anything anyone on here states as fact over him any day.

 

Georgia still has some scales that split ALL the axles and weigh axle by axle, not axle groups

 

Was he over gross? Speeding in the scale? Did you see the scale print out? I think he was 1108 over and they wrote him up on the 108. GA is by far not the harshest on axle wgt. If your under gross they will let you ride with 35k on a tandem. Unless they're pissed
